The Forum is Temporarily Offline Due to an System Update

If you are experiencing problems accessing the forum, it’s due to an upgrade of our forum software. We will be back online shortly.

We’ll Be Updating the Forum Software in the Few Days

In the next few days, not exactly sure which day, I will be updating the vBulletin forum software to version 4. The update release is scheduled for on or before December 21. It all depends on my schedule when I will get the update complete. This is a major version update so the look and features of the forum will be different, what specifically, I don’t know.

You may see features, formats and color schemes turned on and off for a period of time while I get things figured out. Of course, there is also the worse case scenario that the update goes wrong and the forum is down for hours or even days, doubtful though.

Vehicle Collisions While Off-Road – How Do You Handle It?

Lets say that you are out on an off-road adventure with a group of other people and the vehicle in front (or back) slides into you and causes damage to your vehicle. What is the right thing to do? Should the person who slides into you pay for the damage? Should you take the responsibility because you should have recognized the situation and waited for the other vehicle to clear the obstacle? Do you call it even and move on?
